THE DAY’S NEWS.
TWO MEXICAN MURDERERS SWUNG IN TO ETEKNITY
AT LAREDO.
A (ho I era Scare In New Jersey—Cattle Moving
Under Cleveland’s Edict—Texas
Brevities.
THE STATE.
Laredo, August 14.—The first execution
for nine years took place here today, and it
was a double one, two Mexicans named Chivarria
and Alvada both being hung for raurder.
Over 3000 people witnessed the execution.
The platform of the gallows being
about three feet higher than the jail wall, the
prisoners on being brought out were in full
view of all. Both made short speeches, after
which they sat down on chairs, took up the
ropes, fixed them about their necks, as
though they were putting on neckties, adjusting
them carefully, and then stood up to
have their arms pinioned, bidding the crowd
goodby meanwhile the black caps were put
on. Chivarria again fixed the rope. In one
minute more the trap was sprung and both
men shot down nine feet. Aldava’s neck
was broken by the fall, but the rope on Chivairia’s
neck flipped, causing him to die by
strangujation. Me kept drawing up his feet
and slapping his breast for about five
minutes. The doctors present pronounced
Aldava dead at ten minutes after the drop
and Chivarria at fourteen minutes.
The crime for which Celedonio Chivarria
was hanged this morning was a singularly
brutal one. The Rangel family, comprising
the father, a grown son, the mother and a
younger child, were on their way to this city
in their wagon, and had camped for the
night. Towards morning the woman, the
only living witness, says shots were fired at
them from the brush, and as her husband and
son raised up they were shot down and she
was wounded in the arm and the child in the
head, killing it. Then Chevarria came up
to the wagon, killed her husband and oldest
son and tied her to the wheel of the wagon.
Another man then came up, but she did not
see his face, and together they took all the
money the Rangels had, with some other
things. All this happened five years ago,
but the woman positively identified Chevarria
as the one who tied her to the wheel.
Christino Aldava, who was also swung off
today, killed his brother and brotherinlaw.
Becoming enamored of his brother’s
wife, he tried to induce her to leave with
him for Mexico. His brother becoming acquainted
with the facts, remonstrated with
him, when Christino, becoming furious,
pulled a sixshooter and shot him twice,
killing him. The brotherinlaw, running
to the house, encountered the murderer as he
was coming out of the house, and was shot
also, dying of his wounds the next day. The
world is well rid of Christino.
Lampasas, August 14.—The Knights
Templars now encamped here are more
highly pleased than ever with Lampasas.
They passed unanimously a resolution today
to meet here again next July. The representation
is ver^ fair, there being eleven
different commanderies, ’.eight Texas and
three from different states represented.
The preparations for the firemen’s tournament,
to begin on the 17th inst., are about
all complete. The arrangement with the
railroad companies for cheap transportation
is now complete. The Santa Fe put the
fare at one cent per mile with free transportation
for all the apparatuses of the different
fire companies. The other roads put the
far* at two cents per mile. There has been
raised about $1650 for prizes.
Gainesville, August 14.—The county
commissioners yesterday evening ordered an
election for localoption to take place September
12.
Waxahachie, August 14.—In the state
grange very little work was done save the
election of officers. It being unconstitutional
to nominate a candidate for office,
considerable time was consumed in securing
a majority of votes. This was especially so
in the vote for Pomona.
After three hours hard work the state
grange adjourned sine die to meet at Marshall,
Harrison county, on the second Tuesday
in August, 1886.
A cooperatiye life insurance association
for the benefit of the patrons of husbandry
was put on foot and J. M. Carson, J. L.
Ray and J. B. Long were appointed a committee
to report the most feasible plan and
encouragement at the next meeting.
Marshall, August 14.—In view of the
announcement that Dallas had been selected
as the Gould headquarters for Texas, a meeting
was called this morning, at which our
most influential property holders were
present, and a plan was mapped out to be
pursued in the future in regard to the Texas
& Pacific railway company.
That corporation can rest assured that our
people will no longer submit to their gross
violation of their contract with this county
and city. We do not propose to pay $388,
000 for a superintendent’s office and a telegraph
office, but steps will at once be taken
to have the whole of the general offices of
the company brought back here, including
the traffic department. The officers here say
it will only be Mr. Newman and Mr. Me
Cullough in Dallas, but our people have
heard this kind of talk for a long time, and
will listen no longer at any such nonsense.
Milano, August 14.—Yesterday Mr. L.
N. Barber, one of our the most prominent
planters, living four or five miles in the
countiy, brought to town and delivered to
the officers a negro boy about sixteen years
of age named Tom Taylor, charging him with
attempting to poison the whole family.
The boy has been living with Mr. Barber
for the past year. Yesterday he became enraged
at ^Irs. Barber about some triffling
matter, and gathering some leaves of the poisonous
oak vine placed them in the coffee
pot Mrs. Barber foitunately happened
to glance in the pot before putting it
on to boil, and discovered the leaves floating
on top.
IN GENERAL.
Philadelphia, August 14.—The people
of Camden, N. J., are considerably alarmed
over what appears to have been a death from
cholera. The coroner of Camden, who is
also a physician, was notified yesterday
morning that Margaret Kealey, a young Irish
domestic on the farm of Edward P. Hunt at
Whitehouse had died suddenly on Wednesday
evening. Arriving there at noon the
coroner found the body in an advanced stage
of decomposition. On investigating the
case Coroner Beale found that the dead
girl came from Ireland two weeks ago, and
her brother, Micheal Kealey of Philadelphia,
obtained a place for her with farmer Hunt
ten days before she died. On Wednesday
evening Miss Kealey was taken suddenly ill
and vomited continually until she died, an
hour and a half afterwards. The coroner
gave a certificate of death from congestion
of the brain due to cholera morbus, and today
the body was taken to an undertaker in
Philadelphia and is to be buried at once.
The house and corpse were thoroughly disinfected.
Coroner Beale afterwards continued
his investigations, and found that the symptoms
in the case were identical with those
of Asiastic cholera. Dr. Bowman, a physician
of Ilandonfield, who was called in to
attend the girl, did not arrive until after her
death, but he is also of the opinion that it is
a case of cholera. An investigatiom is being
made by Dr. Beale to determine the character
of the case.
Billings, Mont., August 14.—Ed. Goulding,
with two associate cattlemen, on the
Mussell Shell yesterday, met a marauding
body of Piegan Indians between the Razor
and HalfBreed creeks. The Piegans numbered
twenty and were accompanied by
seventyfive stolen horses. Goulding 'and
his party fired, killing one Indian, but
being greatly outnumbered were compelled
to retreat for reinforcements. Obtaining the
latter and overtaking the Piegans they
killed the entire party and recovered all the
stolen horses. What effect this battle will
have on the neighboring bands is not known.
New York, August 14.—Schedules of the
assets and liabilities of John Roach were
filed this afternoon. They show liabilities to
be $2,222,877, and actual assets $4,481,478,
and nominal assetts $5,108,898.
Washington August 14.—Col. Wright,
the commissioner of the labor bureau, today
had the appointment of C. B. Judd, as
special agent of the bureau, revoked because
of his arrest in Colorado on the
charge of horse stealing and his admitting
his crime, and also because be had served
two terms in the penetentiary for the same
offense.
Fort Scott, Ks., August 14.—Two trainloads
of cattle from the Indian Territory,
passed through this city en route for Chicago,
being the first to make their exit from the
Territory under the president’s order.
WAR TO THE KNIFE.
Ot Interest to the Military.
Austin, Tex., August 14.—Capt R. P.
Smy, recently appointed on the governor’s
staff, begins tomorrow a tour of inspection
ot the military companies of the state. He
expects to be gone about twenty days. Gen.
Felix H. Robertson, of Waco, has resigned
his position as a staff officer. He assigns as
the reason the fact that he has never been
able to give it his attention or attend any of
the military encampments.

Is the AntiProhibition Policy—The Campaign
Outlined.
Mr. James B. Baker presided over a meet
ing of business men and citizens held in the
Garland opera house at 4 p. m. yesterday
All the gentlemen present are opposed to
local option and the object of the meeting
was to put on foot measures for the defeat
of prohibition in the pending election. The
following gentlemen were appointed as a
campaign executive committee: Judge G. B.
Gerald, chairman; Sam Sanger, Wm. Cameron,
Tom Padgitt, Jas. B. Baker, Geo.
Clark and A. J. Caruthers. A finance committeee
was also selected, as follows: W. S
Baker, chairman; W. W. Seley, J. W.
Mann, Jno. T. Walton and Wiley Jones.
It was further decided to have an antiprohibition
barbecue at Padgitt’s park, Saturday,
August 29th, and invite every voter,
white and colored, in the county; to organize
campaign clubs, white and colored,
throughout the county, and inaugurate a
vigorous campaign generally. N. E. Brown,
a colored man, was present at the meeting
and made a short talk against prohibition,
which was well received.
ANOTHER MEETING TONIGHT.
The antiprohibition executive committee
met at the Garland opera house at 12 o’clock
today with Judge G. B. Gerald, chairman,
presiding. The following gentlemen were
appointed speakers for the campaign and
will be heard at the various precincts: Gen
Sul Ross, Gov. Coke, Gen. Geo. Clark, M.
D. Herring, A. J. Caruthers, G.B. Gerald,
Richard Harrison, Jas. Baker, J. E. Elgin,
John Dyer, D. H. Hardy, W. S. Baker, F.
M. Makeig, Chas. A. Jennings, Eugene
Williams, T. A. Blair, L. C. Alexander, S.
A. Hogan, Seth Mills, W. L. Prather, M.
C. Park, W. W. Kendall, A. Hinchman, Joe
Taylor and others. A meeting of all interested
living in the limits of Waco was called
for Monday night at the court house, at 8
o’clock for the purpose of organizing ward
clubs and transacting other important busi
ness. A meeting was also called for each
voting precinct in the county, at the usual
place, on Saturday afternoon, August 23rd,
at 3 p. m., for the purpose of organizing
clubs and discussing important matters. The
committee say they desire citizens of the
county who cherish the right of personal
liberty and freedom of speech, every man
interested in the welfare of his country and
his fellow man is cordially urged to be’ present
at one of the above meetings. The col
ored people of the county are invited to be
present at the meeting Monday night at the
court house, and are expected to organize
throughout the county.
Let Justice be Done,No Matter Who Is Benefitted.
A short communication published in The
Day this afternoon represents Mr. James
I. Moore, in his speech made at the Poor
House, as “threatenning that Gen. Ross
shall not have the McLennan county delegation
if he (Ross) opposes prohibition.”
The Day heard this rumor this morning'
and asked Mr. Moore if it was true. He
said it was absolutely untrue; that the only
allusion he made to Gen. Ross was in these
words: “Gen. Ross did not speak at the
meeting Thursday night, and I am
surprised that he declined to respond
then.” The Day knows Mr. Moore,
ardenj prohibitionist as he is, to be as
truthful as any man in Waco, and hence The
Day accepts Mr. Moore’s statement of what
he said as true and the charge alluded to
falls to the ground. Our correspondent was
evidently misinformed as to Mr. Moore’s
remarks.
“Over the Hills to the Poor House.”
Thirty sovereign voters assembled at the
poor house (which is the voting place for
a precinct) last night and listened to
debate on the localoption question.
F. M. Makeig, Esqur.,
chair pioneded the antiprohibition, and
James I. Moore Esqr., the prohibition side.
When the speeches were over the sentiment
of the crowd was gauged and it appeared
that the prohibitionists were largely in the
majority. One man said he was temperate,
but he didn’t favor voting liquor out of the
country.
Suspension Bridge Closed ToMorrow.
The suspension bridge will b,e closed tomorrow,
(Sunday) to enable the contractors
to put in the iron bridge. We hope to allow
the public to use it on Monday.
Waco Suspension Bridge Co.
Waco, Aug. 15it
[For The Day.
Will He Support Ross or Cranfill?
Mr. Jim I. Moore said last night at the
poor house speaking, that prohibition is not
a political question. A little later he threatened
that Gen. Ross should not have the
McLennan county delegation if he opposed
prohibition. Perhaps Mr. Moore will support
Dr. Cranfill.
Waco, August 15lt.
A Touching Letter.
Meridian (Miss.,) Mercury.
The following letter was found in a basket,
left with a baby boy on a gentleman’s doerstep
in this city: The broad mantle of
charity, to cover the sin of her who meant
not to do wrong, and the Christian care of
this darling little baby boy is all its mother
asks. Society, that drives a poor girl from
its door, and receives, with open arms, the
man who defiles her, seems to make it necessary
for me to part, in this way, from my
darling little baby. Take him, keep him,
and love him, and may God prosper them
that accept the charge. I give him to you
without a name. It is a repetition of the
old, old story. It is the wages of a woman’s
sin. Condemn me, if you will, but love and
protect my little darling. This is a grea
deal to ask of strangers, but I know that
even in hearts that could hold censure for
me there is a place for the love of a little
child. If a mother’s tears could wash her
guilt away, and she could take her baby
back to her arms and her place in society
that she is too cowardly to oppose, the end
were easy, for my eyes have shed rivers of
tears, and my heart—Oh, how it throbs
with wild pain, and bitter remorse! Take
him and keep him, and love him for the
sake of his mother, who is paying the bitter
debt of her folly and sin, in trying to
strangle the strong maternal instincts of a
warm, impulsive nature.
Mills Still Solid.
Marlin Ball.
Hon. R. Q. Mills is an antiprohibitionist,
and the Waco Day fears on that account
that he will not have smooth sailing for congress
again. Col. Mills’ views on prohibition
are well known, and while some of the
uncompromising, nonconciliating sort will
vote against him, no true prohibitionist will
do it. Col. Mills has the courage of his
convictions on that as well as on all other
questions.
Another Queer Case.
A month or so ago the wife of Jacob Berean,
of Marlboro, N. Y., on account of
cancer, had her right leg amputated. A week
ago she complained that two of the toes of
the foot buried in the ground overlapped
each other, and that it pained her dreadfully.
Unknown to her, Mr. Berean dug up the
leg and straightened out the toes. He then
went home and asked his wife how she felt,
when she told him that she suffered no more.

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty,
The colored people need have no fears of

but they had better beware of the crowd who

will be necessary to regulate their beliets;
then a religious test for witnesses and officials.

Let Justice be Done,No Matter Who Is Benefitted.
A short communication published in The
Day this afternoon represents Mr. James
I. Moore, in his speech made at the Poor
House, as “threatenning that Gen. Ross
shall not have the McLennan county delegation
if he (Ross) opposes prohibition.”
The Day heard this rumor this morning'
and asked Mr. Moore if it was true. He
said it was absolutely untrue; that the only
allusion he made to Gen. Ross was in these
words: “Gen. Ross did not speak at the
meeting Thursday night, and I am
surprised that he declined to respond
then.” The Day knows Mr. Moore,
ardenj prohibitionist as he is, to be as
truthful as any man in Waco, and hence The
Day accepts Mr. Moore’s statement of what
he said as true and the charge alluded to
falls to the ground. Our correspondent was
evidently misinformed as to Mr. Moore’s
remarks.
“Over the Hills to the Poor House.”
Thirty sovereign voters assembled at the
poor house (which is the voting place for
a precinct) last night and listened to
debate on the localoption question.
F. M. Makeig, Esqur.,
chair pioneded the antiprohibition, and
James I. Moore Esqr., the prohibition side.
When the speeches were over the sentiment
of the crowd was gauged and it appeared
that the prohibitionists were largely in the
majority. One man said he was temperate,
but he didn’t favor voting liquor out of the
country.
Suspension Bridge Closed ToMorrow.
The suspension bridge will b,e closed tomorrow,

Will He Support Ross or Cranfill?
Mr. Jim I. Moore said last night at the
poor house speaking, that prohibition is not
a political question. A little later he threatened
that Gen. Ross should not have the
McLennan county delegation if he opposed
prohibition. Perhaps Mr. Moore will support
Dr. Cranfill.

A Touching Letter.
Meridian (Miss.,) Mercury.
The following letter was found in a basket,
left with a baby boy on a gentleman’s doerstep
in this city: The broad mantle of
charity, to cover the sin of her who meant
not to do wrong, and the Christian care of
this darling little baby boy is all its mother
asks. Society, that drives a poor girl from
its door, and receives, with open arms, the
man who defiles her, seems to make it necessary
for me to part, in this way, from my
darling little baby. Take him, keep him,
and love him, and may God prosper them
that accept the charge. I give him to you
without a name. It is a repetition of the
old, old story. It is the wages of a woman’s
sin. Condemn me, if you will, but love and
protect my little darling. This is a grea
deal to ask of strangers, but I know that
even in hearts that could hold censure for
me there is a place for the love of a little
child. If a mother’s tears could wash her
guilt away, and she could take her baby
back to her arms and her place in society
that she is too cowardly to oppose, the end
were easy, for my eyes have shed rivers of
tears, and my heart—Oh, how it throbs
with wild pain, and bitter remorse! Take
him and keep him, and love him for the
sake of his mother, who is paying the bitter
debt of her folly and sin, in trying to
strangle the strong maternal instincts of a
warm, impulsive nature.
Mills Still Solid.
Marlin Ball.
Hon. R. Q. Mills is an antiprohibitionist,
and the Waco Day fears on that account
that he will not have smooth sailing for congress
again. Col. Mills’ views on prohibition
are well known, and while some of the
uncompromising, nonconciliating sort will
vote against him, no true prohibitionist will
do it. Col. Mills has the courage of his
convictions on that as well as on all other
questions.
Another Queer Case.
A month or so ago the wife of Jacob Berean,
of Marlboro, N. Y., on account of
cancer, had her right leg amputated. A week
ago she complained that two of the toes of
the foot buried in the ground overlapped
each other, and that it pained her dreadfully.
Unknown to her, Mr. Berean dug up the
leg and straightened out the toes. He then
went home and asked his wife how she felt,
when she told him that she suffered no more.

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty,
The colored people need have no fears of
the democrats putting them back into slavery;
but they had better beware of the crowd who
propose to regulate their diet. They now
prescribe “their potations.” Later on it
will be necessary to regulate their beliets;
then a religious test for witnesses and officials.
Then aD established church. Eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty.
